I have a very large ssembly drawing. The BOM is three times the heigth of my D size format. How do you split the
BOM to break it into 2 or 3 columns instead of one large one that does not fit on the paper?
Thanks

Hi,
I am just hiding some items in Parts lst to fit sheet size and insert another Parts list in with I hide items listed in the first one.

Thanks, that is also what I am also doing. It seems a little crude to me because on some of my drawings, I maintain three BOM's. I know the other cad systems have the ability to split the BOM wherever you like. I was just hoping that there was a viable solution that I did not know about and not just a work around.
Thanks for the feedback
Sincerely
Randall
Beautiful! That worked like a charm. I knew there had to be a way. Very greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Just a point of clarification: Inventor terminology for what you're working with is Parts List. The BOM is part of the assembly, and is the source of the information that the Parts List(s) display on the drawing.
Wrap works OK up till you want to have the columns start at two different points. Say mounting first list above title block and second list below at the border.
I found if I'm using two parts lists and making parts visible or not in each, is to make a master P/L with all parts turned on and make all changes in it first then open each P/L and update.
